Max Kepler had 4 hits out of 7 for the Twins last night including 3 HR's. Michael Pineda is expected to come off the IL to make the start for the Twins tonight. He is 4-3 with a 5.43 ERA this season. Before being added to the IL, he had pitched four consecutive quality starts. The Tigers only have a couple of guys in their lineup who can hurt you.
Detroit's Matthew Boyd is 5-4 with a 3.01 ERA this season, however he has had some trouble giving up 14 home runs in 15 starts against the Twins in his career. The Twins have the best OPS in the league against lefties while the Tigers are ranked last in the league in OPS against righties. The Twins are 10-1 as road favorites,and I like them here on Friday night.
